This camera is designed to work with our flagship portable offroad GPS unit - 3DX. This product uses WiFi technology to establish a connection with the 3DX unit, and show you the view from the camera in real time.
This helps the user to be aware of their surroundings, such as walls, other vehicles and obstructions, uneven terrain etc while reversing their vehicle or even standing still in one place.
Installation Instructions
Recommended wire connection are as follows:
Power Wire (Red) : Accessory or battery power
Trigger Wire (Yellow) : Reversing light
Ground wire (Black) : Needs to be grounded
Please note: Any variations in wiring connections would lead to camera not working as smoothly.
VMS recommends that this device is installed professionally by a qualified auto-electrician. VMS is not liable for any damage caused as a result of the installation.
